Violet arrived at New Paraiso with the Cowells. She was clearly agitated.Meanwhile, Samantha, who was busy with the renovation works, spotted Violet rush in with the Cowells and was instantly astonished. She rushed to the ground level of the building without any hesitation.“What brings you here, Grandmother?” Samantha asked when she stood in before Violet.Violet did not answer immediately. She sized up New Paraiso’s building and discovered that it was grander than the Cowell Group’s building.Violet said, “Samantha, you started a new company so quickly. Why didn’t you notify me? Do you not care about this old woman anymore?”Violet took advantage of her seniority and did not feel any shame when she said this.Samantha answered, “I’ve been very busy as of late, Grandmother. Also, the company has yet to start operations so I haven’t notified anyone about it.”“That’s not a good excuse.” Violet let out a grunt.Nathan stepped forward and said angrily, “Samantha, you started a n

Violet assumed an expression as if Samantha owed her.The Cowells burst out laughing upon hearing Violet’s orders.“The Cowells have taken care of you for such a long time so it’s time for you to repay the family’s favor, Samantha.“Grandmother’s not asking for too much with fifty percent, right?” said Clara with a sneer.“That’s right. It’s already respectful to you that she’s allowing you to keep twenty-nine percent when you’re just a piece of sh*t. Don’t be ungrateful as you were with Bailar,” said Francis.It was clear that they were demanding a share of New Paraiso, and they made it sound like it was serious business.Francis was shameless beyond comparison. He demanded someone else’s belongings yet called Samantha such a foul word. Only the Cowells would produce someone like him.Samantha had not expected Violet to come here asking for company shares.Anyone would be well aware that a shareholder with fifty-one percent was considered the biggest shareholder with the autho

The rest of the Cowells were astonished.Francis lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. He whimpered continuously because of the pain in his mouth.Then, he started shedding tears. He wanted to cry out loud, yet he discovered that he could not move his lips. He had not expected something like this to happen and he regretted his actions at this very moment.He wanted to speak, yet was utterly incapable of even moving his mouth.“Francis, Francis? How do you feel?” Hugo asked as he helped Francis into a sitting position.Francis could not speak but his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Adrian.Samantha had not expected Adrian to punch Francis so strongly and her beautiful face turned pale with fear.Violet was shaking at the sight of Francis’ badly battered state.“What did you do, Adrian?!” she roared at him.Adrian clapped his hands together. He did not even glance at Violet as he said, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘the one who scolds people has a foul mouth

Chapter 124

Nathan left with the other Cowells upon saying that.***Samantha wiped her tears after her family departed.She felt extremely disappointed. She never expected her family to be so shameless that they would seek trouble with her in an even more aggressive manner than before.Violet disowned her, sought payment of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars from her, and went back on her own word to seize Bailar.And Violet now had the nerve to ask for New Paraiso’s shares?Even though Violet was her grandmother, Samantha could not make peace with Violet’s unreasonable actions.“Forget it, Sam. Your grandmother and my grandfather cut from the same cloth. Let’s not lower ourselves to their level.” Riley patted Samantha on the shoulder.Samantha inhaled a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect my grandmother would be so insensible that she’d have the nerve to come to me and ask for New Paraiso’s shares. And she did it as if it was reasonable and logical for me to do so too.“If she

Samantha had never been so happy.It was a big win in her books that she was capable of getting people from the Battle Warrior Department to attend her company’s opening ceremony.Adrian smiled upon seeing Samantha’s joy. “Sam, successfully inviting people from the Battle Warrior Department means that they think highly of your company.“You have to work hard and steer the company well.”Adrian caressed Samantha’s hair.Samantha nodded in a hopeful manner. “Do you know how happy I am, Adrian? And it’s all thanks to you. If you hadn't encouraged me, I wouldn’t have had the courage to give it a try.”Samantha knew that Adrian’s encouragement to her had facilitated her success.Adrian said, “In truth, at times, the reason behind one’s failure is due to the lack of courage to try.“Sam, it’s New Paraiso’s opening ceremony tomorrow. You should prepare and don’t forget to get yourself a nice outfit. Make sure you look stunning tomorrow!”“Mm-hm, sure!” Samantha said with a smile, “Mo

“Understood, sir.”Adrian hung up the phone after saying a few more words to Magnus.“Mother, I’m going to take a trip down to Ada’s campus. Stay here and wait for me,” Adrian said to Rue.Adaline was Rue’s daughter, so it was only natural for her to feel panicked.“I’m going too,” she said.Adrian did not wish for Rue to be present since he would have to suppress his temper if she did.“It isn’t convenient for you to come with me, Mother. Don’t worry, Ada will be fine. I’ll head over there, resolve a few issues, and come home as soon as possible.”Rue wanted to continue insisting on going when Samantha said, “You shouldn’t get too worked up because of your weak heart, Mother. Plus, Adrian’s right. You shouldn’t go with him. I’ll go with him instead, so you stay here and stay calm.”In truth, Adrian was not planning on letting Samantha go with him, but he had no choice but to let her after she said all that.Rue still felt anxious. “But—”“Don’t worry, Mother. I doubt it’s an

‘Mr. Adrian?’Samantha was lost for words when she saw how friendly Magnus was being. She shot a glance at the chancellor and thought that he was rather strange.But before she could say anything, Magnus extended his hand toward his office. “Please come in. You must be Mr. Adrian’s wife, right?”Samantha was slightly stunned when Magnus looked at her, not expecting the friendliness he was showing Adrian.She pursed her lips and said, “Hello, Mr. Magnus. My name is Samantha Cowell. I’m Ada’s sister-in-law.”Magnus nodded and gestured for the couple to enter his office.Samantha behaved courteously, but Adrian had already plopped himself on the sofa while Magnus poured them some coffee.“Who’s the guy?” Adrian went straight to the point.Things were going completely differently from what Samantha had imagined. In her mind, she thought that the chancellor would be on the other party’s side and lash out in anger, while she would have to apologize profusely to try and quell the situ

“You must be hungry, Sam. Come and eat,” Adrian said.“Adrian, I—”But Samantha decided to swallow her words. Everything was proceeding very differently from what she had imagined.She did not know what she should say at that moment, so she shot a glance at Magnus before starting on her food as well.Meanwhile, Magnus sat by the side without uttering a single word.After they were done with lunch, Adrian said, “Why don’t you go take a look at how Ada’s doing, Sam? I’ll handle this.”“But Adrian…” Samantha was briefly stunned, still confused about what Adrian’s thought process was.Adrian merely smiled at her and said, “Relax, I’ve got this covered. I’ll pass up the chance to visit the girl’s dorm. You go ahead and take a look instead.”Samantha heaved a long sigh, imagining just how terrified Adaline must be at that moment.‘He’s right, I should go check up on her.’She then stood up and asked, “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle this?”“Have I ever lied to you? I’ve got

Of course, Adaline knew who she had offended.However, she could no longer tolerate the amount of humiliation Dylan hurled at her, which caused her to retaliate.Adaline started to cry when Samantha reprimanded her. “I’m sorry, Sam. I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”Samantha shot her an annoyed look.“What do you mean by that? You just stay here and be good. Your brother’s with the chancellor right now. I have no idea how this will be resolved, but he said he’ll handle it. So, there’s nothing for you to worry about,” Samantha consoled.Adaline nodded.Samantha pulled Adaline to a nearby bench where they sat together before continuing their conversation.***Soon, it was four in the afternoon.Adrian was taking a nap in Magnus’ office but was jolted awake by a sudden disturbance before he could wake up naturally.Magnus rushed into his office following the noise.“Bucky brought a few dozen men with him, Mr. Adrian,” he said anxiously.Adrian then stood up and pulled

Chapter 130

Bucky was bewildered by how things had spiraled out of his control.For a moment, he felt a hint of cowardice well up inside of him when he saw Adrian. After all, nobody had ever dared make such a huge response to whatever he had done in the past.Bucky was actually afraid of having things blow up and go out of control. And on this day, three of his men had died before he had even personally made a move.Feeling slightly worried, he knew the situation was only going to get worse now that it was out of his control.Meanwhile, the surrounding students were witnessing the turn of events. All of them were staring at Adrian and suddenly realized how different he was.‘I doubt Bucky would dare to kill three people so openly…’“Wh-Who are you?! How dare you kill my men!”Despite how worried Bucky was, he still needed to put up a strong front. Moreover, there were so many onlookers. How else was he supposed to continue his reign of tyranny in Swallowston if he did not do so?On the oth
